SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THIS NEW FEATHER IN THE HAIR TREND IS ALL ABOUT!!!
Apparently, it is very en vogue these days (again) to put feather extensions in one's hair. I am not totally opposed to the trend, but must say it is one of many that is making me feel old. Here is a picture from the
blog Tipsy Society:

I know that fashions are always being recycled... or so my MOM has always told me that. Yes, when we started wearing bell bottoms in high school in the 90's we were told that our parents had worn the same thing in the 70's. When we started wearing platform shoes a few years later, same thing.
When VESTS offically came back in style recently I knew I was in trouble. I AM NOW OLD ENOUGH TO BE LIVING THROUGH A TREND COMING BACK IN STYLE! How sad is that!?!?!?
Anyway, back to the feathers. I TOTALLY forgot about this trend, but now I remember going to various fairs (Marion County Fair, Holy Spirit Festival to name a few) circa 1984ish and spending ALL of my allowance money in attempts to win feathers attached to roach clips (not that I had any idea what a roach clip was at the time) to put in my hair! Do you remember that!!!????
